Was it the octofloat by any chance DannyBoy? I've also emailed him, as I've been after one for years now. I went to pick one up once only to find it had been incorrectly listed as a cane rod when it was fibreglass. Hopefully, if it isn't the one you've bought off of him, he'll get back in contact.

hi matt ,
he had 2 sealeys ,one of which was a octofloat and the other which I have purchased was a 11ft float caster delux ,







needs a full restoration ,on the whippings and rings but is nice n straight with no drop.been after one of these for ages.

Thanks DannyBoy, so he still has the other one then? I've been after a float caster Deluxe for ages.

Edit

Sorry, I haven't had much sleep, I just re-read and saw you'd bought the float caster Delux. Atleast it's gone to a good home. I'm sure I'll find one eventually at a good price.

i'll keep an eye out for you now I know your looking for one as well

Thanks very much DannyBoy, much appreciated Sir.

Nice floatcaster, Danny Boy!

The 11ft floatcaster is my favourite float rod for medium sized fish like bream, tench and little carp. They are a really great rod! The 12ft deluxe is also good, but quite a bit heavier.

As we all know, I am a little but obsessed by the floatcasters in all their variations.

Will you do the restoration yourself? If you want a spool of blue thread I'd be happy to give you one. Professor P gave me loads a while back.

never done a rod restoration ,I always afraid I might cock it up it, so I let the pros do it .
im as pleased as punch I finally got an 11Ft one been looking for ages.
